JugOPunch (74), leominster, Massachusetts, USA May 8, 2006 22oz bottle (100 barrel series): Good banana aroma with some bubble gum and clove. Flavor is more of the same. Tastes more like a Hefe than a saison. It lacks the dry crispness of the style. But still tasty nonetheless. Medium to light body and slightly creamy mouth feel. A good beer if not quite what I’m looking for in a saison.
Russo (511), Campinas, Brazil Aug 13, 2008 On Tap@hill tavern. golden color thin foam, aroma is sweety and citrus, flavor is refreshing and something else. Mouthfeel is a smooth bitterness. Goldorak (427), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Jun 17, 2008 I had this one in the cellar for a while, it was due to drink! 100 barrel series.

Very Saison-esque golden/peachy with a pearly white head that didn’t last too long, but I’ll blame that on the fact that it’s a little aged.
<br />
Pickled ginger and peppermint aromas, then 3Vandoo nailed a good one: it smelled like Tiger Balm. Some orange rinds as well. More complex than I expected! Not particularly yeasty, but interesting nonetheless.

Still quite prickly on the tongue after all the time waiting patiently in my cellar, the yeast was a bit more present in the flavor, with a mild hop finish that made it quite refreshing, as a good saison should be. Well done! kp (6300), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Sep 1, 2007 <b>Date:</b> 08/09/2006<br />

hazy orange, whispy frothy white head, sweet lemon and ginger aroma, big body, lots of dry spiced flavor, nice lemon character, balancing earthy bitterness<br />

JAF737300 (733), New York, New York, USA Aug 5, 2007 Beer pours light amber with a decent sized head. It has notes of pepper and citrus on the nose. The palate shows notes of floral and citrus with a light finish of spices. benwa420 (43), Aspen, Colorado, USA May 24, 2007 bottle. Bought at brewery about a year ago. Golden color a tad bit cloudy but pretty clear. Light floral taste with some suddle spices to it. also some nice citrus flavors in there.
